IAEA urged not to follow U.S. anti-DPRK policy
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article denounces the United States and its followers for letting loose a string of vituperation against the DPRK, upset by its step taken to withdraw from the NPT. Recalling that the director general of the IAEA, who is a henchman and a mouthpiece of the U.S., talked about "obedience" and the like, in a bid to apply the partial and unreasonable double standards of the IAEA and the NPT to the DPRK again, the article says:The DPRK cannot but take a serious view of this.
If the NPT is to be one based on impartiality and equality, it should be applied to all signatories on an equal footing without discrimination. But the NPT is characterized by serious discrimination and partiality of the nuclear states against non-nuclear states.
The IAEA is acting such a puppy as dancing to the tune of the U.S., departing from the principle of impartiality which it should regard as its life and soul. The man in charge of an international organization should study the issue properly and deal with it from a fair stand. However, the director general of the IAEA is siding with the U.S. with prejudice and taking issue with the DPRK for no reason in a bid to fan up the atmosphere of international pressure. This goes to clearly prove that the IAEA has been totally reduced to a shock brigade and a henchman executing the U.S. policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK.
The U.S. and the IAEA should not forget the lesson drawn from their "nuclear racket" against the DPRK in the 1990s but clearly understand its revolutionary will and strength.
The vituperation and high-handed offensive against the DPRK will only lash it into greater fury and compel it to take the toughest countermeasure.
The U.S. should admit the responsibility for the present developments and drop its hostile policy toward the DPRK. The IAEA should refrain from doing such unreasonable things as applying the partial and double standards to the DPRK by toeing the U.S. line.
